Embark Campus

Commentaires: CSSSA's goal was to better manage student applications with the intent of making access easier for student applicants. Embark has enabled CSSSA to monitor and manage student applications effectively and efficiently. The help desk continues to be invaluable to both CSSSA and the applicants. The help desk responds in real time to applicants' technical issues and to any and all questions we have regarding filters, queries, reviewers and anything else that develops. The Embark help desk team is dedicated and passionate about their mission and work tirelessly to assist CSSSA and its applicants.

Avantages: The software is easily accessible and intuitive for staff and our applicant students. We are able to make changes to the application and requirements directly and without the assistance of Embark. The upload process is intuitive and simple. The software allows me to easily group applications and assign reviewers. The analytics available are clearly presented and extremely helpful.

Inconvénients: The ability to view uploaded portfolio materials takes more time than we would like. We are working with Embark to improve this process.

Commentaires: We receive many applications from students around the world which were recruited by a large team of recruiters. This application allows us to process these applications in a short timeframe, allows us to archive the results and to keep everyone involved, informed of the progress of each application.

Avantages: Our users enjoy the flexibility and dependability of Embark. One of our users has tailored the application considerably to provide even greater convenience and time-saving use for himself our other users.

Inconvénients: So far, we have had no comments regarding any inconvenience or lack of flexibility in using the application.

Commentaires: Removed our need of paper applications, DVDs,etc.. All hardware eliminated and now faculty, admin and such linked together better on software.

Avantages: Ease of use from one platform to another as transitioning information from Embark to Excel, word doc... etc.

Inconvénients: Hard to change order of fields when you have set up a form

Avantages: I love how flexible the portal is. Being able to customize aspects and set it up to meet our needs has been the biggest pro. We have lots of moving pieces and different questions for different programs and being able to have logic behind the scenes that can automatically adjust has been a tremendous help.

Inconvénients: We were hoping to use Embark as a CRM but it does not have that capability like we need. Being able to sync gmail with the Embark email system would be a great addition, but for now, we are very happy to have it as a volunteer portal.

Commentaires: Excellent!

Avantages: I love the look and feel of Embark from the user perspective. For our program, it is also very convenient as we can rollover and copy previous applications and make the minor adjustments for the upcoming round of solicitations. We also really enjoy the review side and how easy it is for our reviewers to simultaneously view the application and in the same window, write up their review. Pretty much anything we have needed or asked for, we have been able to accomplish. Embark has cut down our manual hours drastically with regards to some of the annual work our program does. Also the customer service and help desk is tremendous. They are quick, efficient, and have never let us down; this support was paramount in our decision to purchase and continue with Embark.

Inconvénients: There isn't anything that I don't like. Honestly, Embark has been a pleasure to work with.
